[PVE-User] backup takes so long to finish

2014-08-27 Thread Gilberto Nunes
Hello I have a VM with Windows 2012 running nicely in PVE 3.2. This VM has a 300 GB disk size that was re-partition with 5 or 6 different parts, in order to allocate different databases... The issue is that the backup task takes 6 hours to generate a lzo file with 13 GB size! However, I have

High I/O when you backup ? Try https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Shrink_Qcow2_Disk_Files (when you have a good backup!) Van: pve-user [mailto:pve-user-boun...@pve.proxmox.com] Namens Gilberto Nunes Verzonden: woensdag 27 augustus 2014 18:47 Aan: pve-user@pve.proxmox.com Onderwerp: [PVE-User] backup

Hum... At first moment, I thought I/O could being a trouble, since I was ran backup in USB devices. But now, I ran backup task on SAS disk! So performance and I/O is not an issue here... And, I can't shrink the file, because the entire disk is being used to all databases as I described before...

Unfortunately, I do not have such luxury by now... SSD is out of the question, for a moment... But I changed from USB device to SAS device, in hope to improve the I/O performance... But no success... The VM itself, is running is SAS as well, since it hosted in an IBM Storage... I'm still search

Maybe you will have better performance if you split them. So keep the busiest database on IBM storage and put the others on USB. This way you share the I/O load. Regards, Iosif On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 7:09 PM, Gilberto Nunes gilberto.nune...@gmail.com wrote: Unfortunately, I do not have such

Just for compare, the very same backup from same VM takes 50 minutes, on previously scenario, I meant, run in a single IBM M4 server with SAS disks... Now, in the Storage and an IBM x3250 M4 server, with 128GB of memory, takes 6 hours! I can't understand why! So weird! 2014-08-27 14:21

Probably there is the bottleneck. 1Gbit = 100MB/s. Probably your SAS might be faster than considering it uses SATA II 300 MB/s or SATA III 600 MB/s. On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 7:35 PM, Gilberto Nunes gilberto.nune...@gmail.com wrote: Is the storage over iSCSI ? Yes! Standard iSCSI. I not

Well I donĀ“t know exactly but perhaps the reason is because the VM is hosted over LVM-on-iSCSI??? Just a idea...I am really lost here...Trying find a reason to explain all the lost of performance... I took all necessary cares about cables, switches, storage and now a simple backup task takes so
